IPL 2018: 7 major changes in the IPL over the years

#7 The Decision Review System (DRS)

The BCCI finally agreed to introduce the Decision Review System (DRS) from the 2018 edition of the IPL. It is well known that the Indian board has never been a huge fan of this system and India was the last major country to adopt DRS when they played the Tests against the England side at home in the 2016-17 season.

DRS usage in the T20 internationals came into effect from 1 October 2017, after the ICC made it mandatory.

The Review System was used for the first time in a T20 tournament during the playoff stages of the 2017 Pakistan Super League.

Each team will get one review per innings from the season-opener on 7 April, when the Mumbai Indians take on Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede stadium. The ball-tracking and the Ultra Edge technologies will also be used in this year’s IPL.
